Klappentext zu „Chris Ofili: Night and Day “
A major survey including new and celebrated works by Turner Prize winning artist Chris Ofili. Set to accompany the first major museum show in the United States of contemporary British artist Chris Ofili, this richly illustrated volume surveys two decades of artworks that meld figuration, abstraction, and decoration to yield hybrid juxtapositions of high and low culture. Best known for intricately constructed works featuring beadlike dots of paint, elephant dung, and images culled from popular media, Ofili s unique lexicon combines African culture, Western art history, and hip-hop music, spanning a wide variety of sources which include the Bible, Zimbabwean cave paintings, Blaxploitation films, and William Blake s poems. Animated by exotic characters, outlandish landscapes, and folkloric myths, Ofili s most recent work resonates with references to the paintings of Henri Matisse and Paul Gauguin. This compelling new book offers a fresh perspective on the artist s vital practice, which both celebrates and calls into question the power of images and their ability to address fundamental questions of representation.
